Paris is a uniquely rich music capital, its streets echoing with centuries of great music that has been created and performed there. Virtually every neighborhood boasts a concert hall, church, museum, or home that has played a significant role in the extraordinary musical tradition of the city.

They, along with performers, teachers, instrument makers, and publishers, have bequeathed to the city a wealth of historic landmarks, ranging from the opulent grandeur of the Opera to Erik Satie's tiny room in Montmartre. Featured in the gazetteer: - biographical portraits of major composers, all their known Paris addresses and favorite meeting places, with the nearest Metro stops - locations of monuments and graves of composers - information on churches, theaters, concert venues, and important musical institutions - listings of libraries, museums, and galleries holding materials related to music - an index of locations, arranged by arrondissement and by street - four recommended walking tours - more than 120 contemporary and historical photographs.…
